THE GREAT NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED 
RURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY WEEKLY. 
-♦♦♦- 
This Famous Journal entered upon its Twenty-Fifth Year Jan. 3, 
1874, and proposes to celebrate its Quarter-Centennial by furnishing a 
better paper than ever befork. Its Founder and Conductor and his 
Associates have resolved that it shall more than maintain its rank as the 
BEST WEEKLY OF ITS CLASS! 
Moore’s Rural has long been recognized as the Standard Authority 
on Agricultural, Horticultural and Domestic Affairs, 
and as a Choice and High-Toned Literary and Family Taper, 
having ardent admirers in every State, Territory and Province on the Con¬ 
tinent. Indeed, it is the Rest Paper for 
THE FARMER, 
THE HORTICULTURIST, 
THE STOCK GROWER, 
THE DAIRYMAN, 
THE HOUSEWIFE, &c., 
as it includes, among others, the following distinct Departments :— Apia¬ 
rian, Arboriculture, Dairy Husbandry, Domestic Economy, Entomology, 
Farm Economy, Farm Implements, Field ( tops, Floriculture, Gardener, 
Herdsman, Horseman, Hygienic Information, Land Department, Natu¬ 
ralist, Pisciculture, Pomology, Poultry, Hural Architecture, Scientific 
and Useful, Sheep Husbandry, Sportsman, Swine-Herd, Vineyard,— thus 
rendering it the most complete Paper for Practical Rum lists now published. 
AS A LITERARY AND FAMILY PAPER 
The Rural New-Yorker has attained an enviable reputation, as its numer¬ 
ous readers can attest. The Literary and Miscellaneous Departments will 
receive increased care and attention, while no Department will he neglected 
— our aim being to excel in every and all features, and to furnish the 
best combined Rural, Literary and Family Newspaper obtainable. 
THE RURAL’S ILLUSTRATIONS 
Are Numerous, Varied and Beautiful. Indeed, our object is to render 
the whole paper exceptionally Valuable and Acceptable. Its Reports of 
Markets, Crops, Etc., are alone worth double the price of the paper.
